What to do if Datalogic DS4600A Barcode Reader EXT TRIGGER LED is on but no reading results?
If the EXT TRIGGER LED is lit, but you're not getting any reading results from your Datalogic Barcode Reader, the software configuration might be inconsistent with the application condition. Use the WinHost program, select the OPERATING MODE tab, and check the relevant parameters to ensure they match your setup.
Why is my Datalogic Barcode Reader not triggering in Serial On line Mode?
If your Datalogic Barcode Reader is not triggering in Serial On line Mode, and you're not getting any reading results, use the WinHost program to check the following: 1. Select the OPERATING MODE tab and ensure that serial on line is enabled as the operating mode. 2. Verify that the Start – Stop characters are correctly assigned. 3. Confirm that the serial trigger source is correctly connected and configured.
How to fix Datalogic DS4600A Barcode Reader EXT TRIGGER LED when it's not lit?
If the EXT TRIGGER LED on your Datalogic Barcode Reader is not lit when the external trigger activates, check the following: * Ensure the sensor is connected to the EXT TRIG pins (18 and 19 for the 25-pin connector). * Verify that power is supplied to the photo sensor. * Confirm that power is supplied to EXT TRIG+ (NPN output) and EXT TRIG- is grounded (PNP output). * Check that the correct polarity is observed (current flowing from EXT TRIG+ to EXT TRIG-). * Ensure that the photo sensor LEDs (if any) are working correctly. * Verify that the sensor/reflector system is aligned.
How to troubleshoot Datalogic DS4600A when the power LED is off?
If the "Power On"/"Ready" LED on your Datalogic Barcode Reader is not lit, check the following: * Ensure the power is connected. * If using a power adapter (like PG 220), verify it's connected to a wall outlet. * If using rail power, confirm the rail has power. * If using C-Box 100, check if it has power (verify the switch and LED). * Measure the voltage at pin 13 and pin 25 (for 25-pin connector) or at spring clamp 1 and 2 (for C-BOX 100).
